Hello everyone,

I am posting a GoFundMe on behalf of my good friend, Kayla Critch, whose brother is in St John's now due to serious heart issues. Kirk Critch had a serious snowmobile accident this winter that left him unable to work. Due to Kirk having high blood pressure he was unable to continue with his therapy.
Their family has a genetic heart condition that has left Kirk with a hole in his heart, leaky valves and an extra valve. This has since caused him issues and doctors said he would be ok and they wouldn't need to operate until he was much older.
Two days ago his mother and sister had to rush to bring him to the hospital because he was sick and couldnt breathe. They made it as far as Pasadena and needed to call the ambulance to meet them because he needed oxygen.
He has since been brought to St John's for heart valve replacement surgery and his mother and sister have traveled to be with him during this awful time.
They will now have to pay for hotels, food, etc to be there for him. I am asking that anyone who can help please do so. Kayla and family have been nothing but amazing to me and I'm hoping that we can do a little in return to help them during this trying time.
